The Nomad Strength Show

Hunting season is right around the corner, which means it's time to be getting plans made, gear acquired, and weapons dialed in. As a new bowhunter, I have been relying on a lot of people much smarter than myself to help me feel prepared to hit the mountains this September, and my guest today is one of them. Ben Eipert is a technical wizard and engineer for Vector Arrows, a company challenging the...

There has always been a special connection between Man and Nature. It is innate; something we often can't explain. Getting out and experiencing the stillness of the air and the sounds of the trees and animals cannot be replicated.

I had the pleasure for today's episode of catching up with fantastic coach, and my friend, Greg Walsh of Wolf Brigade Gym. This time around, Greg and I had a lot to catch up on, and as our conversations often do, we went down some rabbit holes. Through all of it we center around the idea of always finding small ways to improve ourselves, or "tinkering" as Greg says. We covered a lot of ground, and...

On this beautiful Independence Day, I figured about firearms, long range shooting, and becoming a proficient marksman was an appropriate episode.

Today's episode is a one you are going to need a pen and pad for some vigorous note taking.

Piggy-backing off the last solo episode, we're going to dive more into some training ideas today. This time with concept of training for healthy and strong bodies long into the future, like decades.
